You can't add existing shapes to XSLFGroupShape, but you can create a
new shape and copy contents of an existing shape into it :
XSLFAutoShape existingShape = ...;
group.createAutoShape().copy(existingShape);
XSLFTextBox existingTextBox = ...;
group.createTextBox().copy(existingTextBox)

No, it is not supported. Ungroupping is not that simple: the code will
need to iterate over group, convert each shape's XML into non-group
form. Then it needs to transform anchors to the parent coordinate
system (slide or parent group if it is a nested group) and finally
delete the shape from the group and re-attach it to the parent.
